Knowing now that Linux is faster than Windows in all tested scenarios, what other factors should be considered to determine if Linux is the right platform to run Tableau Server on?
- Operating costs: Linux is 40-50% cheaper than Windows across all public clouds because Windows licenses are associated with compute costs.
- Administration: Linux does not have a desktop GUI. All server administration has to be done through a command line interface, which can be daunting. However, the TSM web user interface on Linux is identical to the one on Windows.
- Data Source Support: Tableau does not support all types of data sources on Linux. Be sure to check out Tableau’s list of drivers here (drivers with an asterisk are for Windows only).
Is Python better on Windows or Linux?

Cross-platform Python projects are more beneficial for Linux than Windows, even though they have no visible performance or incompatibility issues. The more comfortable you are, the more productive you will be.
What are the basics of programming in Python?
Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language used for a variety of applications such as software development, scientific modeling, data analysis, web development, etc.
You can install Python using the following commands:
Why is Linux better than Windows for Python?
Python is a versatile language that can be used for both scripting and software development. It is available on a wide variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Linux is a superior platform for Python development for several reasons. First, Linux is a more stable and reliable operating system than Windows. This is important for software development because you don’t want your development environment to constantly crash or be unreliable. Second, Linux offers a more complete development environment than Windows. On Linux, you have access to a wide variety of tools and libraries that can help with Python development. This is in contrast to Windows, where you often have to pay for third-party tools or libraries. Third, Python runs faster on Linux than it does on Windows. This is because Linux is a more efficient operating system. Fourth, Python development on Linux is more flexible. You can install multiple versions of Python on the same system and easily switch between them. This is not possible on Windows, where you are stuck with the default Python installation. Ultimately, Linux is simply a better operating system than Windows. It is easier to use, more customizable, and more stable. For these reasons, Linux is the best choice for Python development.
Python is available for Windows and Linux. That’s all I know about Python and Windows, and it’s hard for me to explain it to you. The main purpose of virtual machines is to dynamically create machines for distributed users based on their specific needs. In order to effectively run VM on your PC, you must have a high level of HW. Linux distributions usually come with Python pre-installed, but this is not the latest version and may not always include all the modules that are part of the system. Python is nothing more than a program that you can install if you want it to work on Windows. Python is used to develop some Linux utilities, such as RedHat’s yum.
Sure
Let’s face it; The Windows operating system is vulnerable to different types of attacks (or hacks). However, Linux is not as vulnerable as Windows. It’s certainly not invulnerable, but it’s much safer. Although there is no rocket science in this.
It’s just the way Linux works that makes it a secure operating system. All in all, the package management process, the concept of repositories, and some additional features make Linux more secure than Windows.
